Refurbished Equipment & Service

Refurbished. Upgraded. Ready for What’s Next.

Extend the Life of Your
Straub Design System

Our industrial automation systems are built for long service lives—
but productivity demands, component availability, and technology evolve. At Straub Design, we specialize in refurbishing, servicing, and upgrading our automation systems already in the field, helping you get more performance, reliability, and value from the equipment you own.

Our mission is straightforward: extend system life, improve productivity, and modernize with purpose—without unnecessary replacement.

Smarter Modernization— Without Starting Over

Total replacement isn’t always the best solution. Straub Design takes a practical approach to modernization by working with your existing automation platform whenever possible.

We help customers:

  • Restore reliability and protect uptime
  • Upgrade controls, components, and interfaces
  • Address obsolescence and supportability concerns
  • Improve efficiency, throughput, and usability
  • Purchase restored equipment as a gateway to automation at a lower price

Focused Expertise in Proven Industrial Systems

Our services are centered on automation systems we know in depth, including:

The Right Level of Upgrade—
Where It Makes the Most Sense

Straub Design supports industrial automation systems both in the field and at our facility, depending on the scope of work. Our focus is on minimizing disruption while delivering durable, well-engineered results.

Field Upgrades at Your Facility

For targeted improvements and simpler upgrades, our team can work directly at your location to:

  • Replace or update controls and key components
  • Improve reliability, performance, and usability
  • Address component obsolescence or safety concerns
  • Implement productivity improvements with minimal downtime

This option is ideal when systems remain operational, and upgrades can be efficiently completed on site.

In-House Refurbishment at Straub Design

For more involved modernization, deeper reengineering, or full system refurbishment, equipment may be returned to Straub Design. This approach allows us to:

  • Perform comprehensive upgrades and system reconfiguration
  • Test and validate performance in a controlled environment
  • Integrate new automation, controls, or functionality
  • Deliver a thoroughly refurbished system ready for redeployment

We work closely with your team to plan logistics, timing, and reintegration into production.

Proactive Support for Long-Term Performance

For customers seeking predictable uptime and long-term system health, Straub Design offers scheduled service visits through an annual service contract.

Annual service contracts can include:

  • Scheduled on-site inspections and evaluations
  • Preventive maintenance and system adjustments
  • Early identification of wear, risk, or obsolescence
  • Performance recommendations and upgrade planning
  • Priority support and long-term system familiarity

Sustainability Built Into Every Project

By extending the service life of existing automation systems, Straub Design helps reduce waste, conserve materials, and lower the environmental impact associated with full system replacement.

 

We also purchase industrial automation equipment that may no longer be needed, giving it a second life through refurbishment, reuse, or integration into other systems.
